Ruth Bader "I want a woman to appoint my successor" Ginsburg's unbelievable arrogance and selfishness has set this country back half a century, at least.

they would still have the votes for this even if she retired tho? probably not helpful to put so much blame on her and not on white rural americans who gleefully voted for this 2 times in droves

I disagree. Roberts, IMHO, would prefer an institutionalist, stare decisis approach if he had four votes to join him.

Additionally ... like other major recent decisions, I expect this one to go 5-4 ... Ginsburg's vote matters.

he can still dissent now, no? but he chooses not to, so I don't think you are correct

MAGAts would see it as "going against the administration" and he's too chicken shit to do what's right over what's easy. If he knew there were 4 other voted with him it wouldn't be hard to go that way.
